I think these Abominations are well thought out and purposefull.
Three comments...
1) I do not like having StarLots do any sort of "effect" on DC's - the
cross may ba able to stand since it is so envolved in the Earth myth.
(Perhaps I am over sensitive to this area since I once played in a group
which dripped talismans.) This would be a wonderful lie surrounding the
creatures, and any player believing the lie would press his StarLot into
the creature's flesh... only to have it turn into a shadow stone!
2) How much of the Abomination's particulars are known to the players?
There is a LOT of (good) info on the Vamp. How much is AM info only?
3) Can we (should we) link a WR to the stake thing?
Excelent ideas! (especially the last paragraph under vamps!)
